The woman's husband, Jaime Flores Aguilar of Santa Rosa, and their three children will receive about $2 million, after attorneys' fees and trial costs are covered, said Jeremy Fietz, their attorney.

Fietz said he believed the $10.6 million verdict is a record for Sonoma County wrongful death lawsuits, although most of that judgment will not result in a monetary award.

The driver who struck Flores' car from behind on Highway 116 in Cotati, Gilbert Freeth of Huntington Beach, was dismissed from the case before trial in exchange for $100,000, the limit of his insurance policy, Fietz said.

The jury found Freeth 75 percent responsible for the crash.

"Justice has been done. It's over," Jaime Flores said through a translator in the hallway outside the courtroom.

Flores, 49, said he would "not want one penny" if his wife was still alive.

A Sonoma County jury awarded more than $3 million Wednesday to the family of a Santa Rosa mother killed in a 2009 collision on Highway 116.

In a 9-3 decision, the jurors said Caltrans was 25 percent responsible for the fatal crash and must pay Maria Juana Flores' family roughly that portion of the official $10.6 million verdict.

Barring an appeal, Caltrans must pay all of the $646,446 in economic losses awarded by the jury and one-fourth of the $10 million award for non-economic losses.
